The intention is to introduce you to the people who have been carving their own path...with no care for what anybody thinks.

We try not to post things that are still for sale but sometimes post things that are not easily available. If you like what you hear, then find these people and tell them how great they are.

Better still, tell them and then seek out their new releases and buy them. We add links, when they are reliable and active, so that you can keep track if you so wish.

Always go straight to the artist or the label where possible. That way, the money goes straight to the people responsible for this art. These people rely on our support to keep going and make more quality releases!

Please feel free to leave comments as you go along...at least then we know you appreciate this stuff (or otherwise) and you're not just a bunch of freeloading file collectors.

If you made this music and we have pissed you off by posting any of this, please leave a comment in the post and the offending articles will be removed.

Fossils are a rarity in any music scene: staggeringly prolific artists who, by and large, fail to produce subpar music. They're not devoid of ideas, either. From the typical grating metal clangor, lurking murky subterranean drones and psychedelic spiraling voids to super fried, paint-splattered jams that sound like they were born out of junkyards and garbage cans and every sort of droning instrument ever made. Every Fossils release I own sounds distinct. There are two split releases with Sick Llama in J's earlier Llama post. Also, don't have release info for the Blue Tape, I think it's a tape that is...erm...blue. Dive in.......

Some of these releases are so small in the quantity they were made in like 'A Green Ha' only 9 copies were made. Thanks for making them available to hear. It makes me want to buy the originals. Thanks.

I'm all for downloading music that is out of print and keeping it alive but like "Fossils" said, many of these recordings are still available and should be sought out at the Fossils/David Payne website. Maybe David could let you know which ones to take down that are still purchasable and then you could properly re-up the others so the links actually work.
